Aggies enjoy first league victory

Based on the way its offense keeps improving, A&M owns a decent chance of defeating Colorado this Saturday at Kyle Field. If so, the Aggies would then have to win two of three at home against Oklahoma and on the road at Baylor and Texas to reach the six-win mark.

Can’t remember when, but I suppose stranger things have happened.

In any case, the Aggies were greatly relieved to get out of Ames with a victory.

“We’ll enjoy this one until 4 o’clock (Sunday),” first-year coach Mike Sherman said. “And then we’ll start analyzing what we did wrong with the players.”

At least for a night, however, A&M will savor its first Big 12 win of the season.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said sophomore quarterback Jerrod Johnson, who finished 31 of 39 for 381 yards and four touchdown passes. “We still have a lot of work to do, but today we came out on top.”
